Merry Christmas!

well - today is Christmas

which can only mean one thing.....

the children are supervised by the zillions of family members everywhere -

and I have a chance to update my blog

I'm such a jerk!

EITHER WAY!

Actual CHRISTMAS pictures will soon follow -

but here are a few of the kiddos just to get a taste of who's who

here is Mr Luke in a super cute Santa outfit -

care of Aunt Cookie

Here is a cute one of the Luke - notice the many different pacifiers on the table...

we're trying to find the perfect fit!

This one was just TOO cute to not share -

Anna is totally in LOVE with her new little brother (PHEW)

and here she's playing with him while he swings...

even Dan admits she is painfully cute with him

and this is just too cute for me...

Daddy and his big boy

COME ON

I'M BACK!

well - not officially -

but I figured a little bit was better than nothing!

so here goes

Anna has been making all the appropriate phone calls to let everyone know the new brother has FINALLY made his cameo!

if you didn't get a call from her -

you don't rank

:)

SO!

after much discussion w/ the doctors - we all decided it would be best for me to have a c-section... and now - I'm grateful :)
so here's his first funny face -
I think he's laughing at me - because NOTHING I have fits him
Big Yawn
All in all - he's a very good kid -
but you really have to enjoy the moments when he's snoozing....
AND - as much of an adjustment this new baby is for us - I have to keep in mind - it is an even BIGGER adjustment for the girl
